the aircraft’s behavior for each ight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land

the aircraft safely.

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is

unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious

when ying in A mode.

1. P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are two different states of

P mode, which will be automatically selected by the DJI Matrice 100 depending on GPS signal strength:

a. P-GPS: GPS is available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

b. P-ATTI: When GPS is not available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only

altitude is controlled.

2. A mode (Attitude): The GPS is NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain

altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Remote

Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

3. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the

prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree

that data including but not limited to ight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and

maintained on a DJI designated server.

Failsafe and Return to Home

1. The Return to Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufcient or if GPS is not active.

2. Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point instead of turning off the remote controller.

3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.

4. Make sure to always y the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.

5. When updating the Home Point, do NOT block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure the new

Home Point is correct on the live map.

6. Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic elds.

7. Do NOT update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an incorrect

location being stored.

8. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate

Failsafe altitude before each ight.

9. Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home Point that is

different from the takeoff point.

Low Battery

1. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for

landing.

2. When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid

losing power during ight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.

Compliance with Regulations & No-Fly Zones

Regulations

To avoid non-compliant behavior, serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:

Do NOT operate in the vicinity of manned aircraft, regardless of altitude. (Land immediately if

necessary)

Do NOT y the aircraft in densely populated areas, including cities, sporting events, exhibitions,

performances, etc.

Do NOT y the aircraft above the authorized altitude. Remain well clear of and do NOT interfere

with manned aircraft operations. Be aware of and avoid other aircraft and obstacles at all times.

To avoid non-compliant behavior, serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:

1. Do NOT y the aircraft near or inside no-y zones specied by local laws and regulations. The no-y zone

list includes: airports, borders between two sovereign countries or regions, major cities/regions, etc., and

is continuously updated.

2. Do NOT y the aircraft above the authorized altitude

3. ALWAYS keep your aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS), and use an observer to assist if needed.

4. NEVER use the aircraft to carry illegal or dangerous goods/payloads.

1. Make sure you understand the nature/type of your ight operation (such as for recreation, for public use, or for

commercial use) and have obtained corresponding approval and clearance from the related government

agencies before flight. Consult with your local regulators for comprehensive definitions and specific

requirements. For users operating their aircraft in the United States, please first visit http://www.

knowbeforeyouy.org/ and take action appropriate to your circumstances.

2. Please note that remote controlled aircraft may be banned from conducting commercial activities in

certain countries and regions. Check and follow all local laws and ordinances before ying as those rules

may differ from those stated here.

3. Do NOT y around sensitive infrastructure or property such as power stations, water treatment facilities,

correctional facilities, heavily traveled roadways, government facilities, military zones, etc.

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Do NOT conduct surveillance operations such

as image capture or video recording on any person, entity, event, performance, exhibition, and property

without authorization or where there is an expectation of privacy, even if the image or video is captured for

personal use.

5. Please be advised that in certain areas, the recording of images and videos from events, performances,

exhibitions, or commercial properties by means of a camera may contravene copyright or other legal

rights, even if the image or video was shot for personal use.

No-Fly Zones

DJI always stresses safety during ight, and has therefore developed various aids to help users comply with

local rules and regulations while ying. We strongly recommend that you update the rmware to the latest

version to ensure the following features are fully updated:

No-Fly Zones

1. No-Fly Zones include but are not limited to major airports around world, borders between two sovereign

countries or regions, major cities/regions, etc.

2. The complete list of No-Fly Zones is listed on the ofcial DJI website at http://ysafe.dji.com/no-y and is

subject to periodic updates in line with the latest regulatory requirements without prior notice.

3. Some No-Fly Zones are comprised of several zones. Each zone features circles of various sizes. The

aircraft will NOT be able to take off in the inner most zone of the No-Fly Zone, and will descend to the

specied altitude when it approaches the edge of the inner most zone. Ground station functionality is

disabled when the aircraft is within a No-Fly Zone.

4. Users are NOT able to set up waypoints within No-Fly Zones.

Altitude Limit

1. Fly NO higher than 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level and stay away from any surrounding

obstacles.

If you intend to y above the default altitude limit, you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to

enable the new altitude limit. If a new altitude limit is set, you further understand and agree that data including

but not limited to ight telemetry data and altitude limit changes could be uploaded to and maintained on a

DJI-designated server.
